OPTIONAL: Professional development workshop reflections and artifacts
The deadline for reflections and evidence is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2017. Make sure your name is on all of thedocuments you turn in. For each workshop, you are to submit a reflection (see below for what constitutes a reflection) and an artifact. The artifact is the workshop handout or certificate of participation (if no handout is given). To access the certificate of participation, go to: https://education.ucf.edu/knightedtalks/workshops.cfm. Complete and submit an evaluation of the workshop you attended. When you submit the evaluation, a certificate of participation will be generated. Download it, print it out, and write your name in the blank space on the certificate. REMEMBER: If you want your reflections to count towards being exempt from Exam 2, they MUST BE submitted to me within two weeks of having attended the workshop you are reflecting on.
If the above assignment is incorrectly submitted (i.e., documents lacking your name, etc.), I will NOT contact you to remind you that you need to submit it correctly. It is YOUR responsibility to take your time and submit your documents with care and accuracy.
Please refer to the following guidelines when writing your reflections:
Writing a Reflection: Reflection involves sharing your reaction to a particular experience. It is NOT a narrative, or summary, of what happened. The bulk of the reflection should consist of what you learned at the professional development event and how you might apply what you learned to your future classroom. In a reflection, you demonstrate that you have gleaned something meaningful from the experience and have given critical thought regarding how you might be able to use/implement what you learned in your future classroom/career.
Recommendations Regarding Reflection Format:The following format is recommended for a reflection (http://www.fctl.ucf.edu/TeachingAndLearningResources/CourseDesign/Assessment/content/ ReflectiveWriting.pdf): Introduction: The introduction is a retelling of what happened. The introductory paragraph “sets the scene” by BRIEFLY giving factual information.
Body: State what you expected or anticipated about the experience. What did you actually experience, feel, observe, etc.? Be specific. Use “I” statements. Include all features or elements that would allow an outsider to “see as you see” whatever you experienced. Analysis deals with reasons, motives, and interpretation during the event or experience. How is the evidence meaningful or how does it contribute to your understanding of course content?
Closure: State how the experience has impacted you. How will this impact you in the future?
